Can you believe it’s been four years since TOWIE’s Pete Wicks quit the show?

It seems like forever since he was flirty friends with Ella Rae Wise (remember that? Lol) but after leaving behind his reality  TV past (well, apart from Strictly), he’s shown off his drastic transformation and fans reckon he looks 10 years younger.

Posting a selfie with the caption of a lion mane emoji (oh, how millennial), he showed off his hair transformation and fans went wild.

‘Friend that makes you look 10 years younger,’ wrote one of his followers.

Someone else commented, ‘Love the new hair, suits you😍.’

Another said, ‘Looking much better these days… lol knocked about 20 years off… awesome 🙌.’

A fourth added, ‘You’re ageing backwards you absolute weapon 🔥.’

Pete’s hair transformation comes months after he split from Love Island turned I’m A  Celebrity… Get M Out of Here! star Maura Higgins.

Despite downplaying rumours that they were in a relationship, Maura seemed to confirmthat something had been going on after paps asked where Pete was and she replied, ‘I don’t know, probably cheating.’

At the time a source told Closer magazine, ‘Maura fell for him very quickly and very hard – so for things to end so soon has been heartbreaking. But in any relationship, she needs to be able to trust someone 100 percent and she just couldn’t find that with Pete, so she had to end things.

‘She’d introduced Pete to her family and friends back home in Ireland, and they were surprised when she announced that things were over. But it’s Maura’s call and she’s told them she believes it was never going to work.’
